There was a famous episode when they came back early from commercial and Burke didn’t know he was on air. He was caught cutting some director a new one over some on air cock up. The airwaves were rife with deleted expletives. It’s part of CBC folklore.

Well, Murph - your reference made me Google Stanley Burke. And I'm glad I did. I'm a little too young to remember his days as an anchorman, but according to Wikipedia he left to launch a public campaign on the Biafran civil war. I like this guy already. Better yet - it turns out he's a blogger. His post called They're Changing Our Fishwater is brilliant.

Now that’s reality TV. Takes me back to the days of Stanley Burke on the CBC.
